At moments in history, individuals have embodied the gospel message with creativity and passion. Capitalizing on the legacy of Francis and Clare and the new energy of a visionary pope who raises critical questions about how to be faithful to the gospel, The Tenderness of God invites readers into a rich conversation across time and space about how to recapture our humanity and nurture our God-given capacity to live meaningfully and joyfully in communion with others.
Gillian T.W. Ahlgren is professor of theology and founding director of the Institute for Spirituality and Social Justice at Xavier University. She is the author of Enkindling Love: The Legacy of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross in Fortress's Mapping the Tradition series (2016).
